Teaser Tuesday

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!


Adding insult to injury:
When, after you've gone jogging for the first time in years and can barely make it up the stairs the next day, your husband - who may genuinely think he's being helpful - observes: "You really should find time to work out more."

page 17, Just Let Me Lie Down: Necessary Terms for the Half-Insane Working Mom by Kristin van Ogtrop
This book is arranged alphabetically - a dictionary of terms for working moms. It is also quite humorous.
